Bard serves as an independent advisor to non-profit occupiers of real estate to help reduce costs and increase efficiency by developing strategic and financial models, in addition to researching and helping to negotiate lease/purchase/sale options.

Bard evaluates the strategies, assets, managers, terms, and governance of real estate fund and joint venture vehicles so they meet our clients’ interests from the outset of the investment, before problems arise.

Investment managers are central to achieving client outcomes, and a review of manager operations by Bard will examine front and back office operations to assess the viability of processes, systems, and finances for short- and long-term success.

Bard’s extensive experience with public real estate strategies, in both domestic and international markets, situates us to give expert and conflict-free advice on strategy, implementation, benchmarking, managers, and fee negotiations.

Bard’s dedicated team and third-party experts perform comprehensive due diligence on real estate assets for all major property types, from vetting and evaluating partners to aligning projected returns with client goals.

Transfers between vehicles may be desirable if there are seed assets or the vehicles have different strategies or investor pools. Bard offers fiduciary opinions upon reviewing affiliates and assessing the terms and appropriateness of transactions.
